EndED W/ Mark Forbes

In this podcast, I interview Mark Forbes, cofounder of endED, a Sunshine Coast non-for-profit community organization who collectively support growth and expansion through the journey of eating disorder recovery. As a father of two daughters living with eating disorders, Mark is dedicated to increasing hope, understanding, compassion and allyship in the eating disorder realm. As you’ll hear, endED came to be after Mark and his wife Gail opened up their home to Parents and Carers navigating the trenches of recovery. Since then, endED has transformed lives all over the country. 

In this episode:

• Mark’s experience with Eating Disorders
• The makings of endED
• The beginnings of Wandi Nerida
• Eating disorders and funding in Australia
• What it’s like to be a parent/carer to someone living with an eating disorder
